Radar-based concrete inspection is the state of the art in locating technology, and provides the accurate inspection results that you need when dealing with structures within concrete.
Our concrete imaging system locates embedded structures within concrete slabs prior to drilling, cutting or coring, to a depth of 24 inches or more. A 32" x 32" area of concrete can be inspected and its contents marked in just five minutes. Only single-sided access is required to perform surveys, and thousands of square feet can be inspected in one day. Faster, safer, and less expensive than traditional X-ray radiography, radar imaging is the best method available for determining what objects lie inside concrete slabs – and exactly where they are.
In a nutshell, our concrete imaging service provides:
- Quick and accurate inspection of floors, walls, decks, slabs, tunnels, balconies and garages.
- Location of rebar, tension cables, conduits, voids, PVC pipes, and measurement of slab thickness.
- Longer drill and coring bit life by avoiding cutting through rebar.
- Capability to inspect thousands of square feet of concrete per day.
- Location of targets to a depth of 24 inches or more in concrete.
- More speed, more safety and lower cost than X-ray radiography.
With this system, we are literally looking through a concrete slab, and we can tell inch-by-inch what's inside. With a typical rebar structure like this in a slab, the accurate data we provide saves time and money: it prolongs drill and coring bit life by avoiding cutting through the steel rebar, and it prevents hitting embedded utilities in the slab.
Some scan examples:

The two red lines in the center of this scan are electrical conduits.

The large red area shown here is an electrical junction box.

Here we can see the outline of a light fixture attached to the far side of this parking garage floor.

And here is our scan of a floor in the Portland Jetport, with both the obstructions and the safe coring area marked.
